Nationally recognized solar training company ONTILITY will offer Entry Level Solar Electric Training on July 18-22, at Graybar Electric headquarters in St. Louis. The solar energy market in Missouri is set to grow rapidly and the demand for well-trained installers is high.
Entry Level Solar Electric Training provides students with basic knowledge of solar photovoltaic (PV) cells, modules, and system components; electrical circuits; PV system design, estimation, and code requirements; solar electric products and applications; an understanding of energy conversion from sunlight to electricity, and how to work with solar conversion equipment. The course is based on the photovoltaic installation job task analysis developed by the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners, NABCEP. The course focuses on real-world, site-specific knowledge. Hands-on training covers site surveys; mechanical and electrical design, safety and construction issues; tool and test equipment use; best-practice construction skills; national code and local inspection issues.
The course is suitable for anyone interested in solar energy. Those looking for new career opportunities have found it valuable as have entrepreneurs, electricians, electrical, mechanical and general contractors and others in the building trades who are interested in business opportunities in solar.
At a time when the U.S. economy overall is growing at an annual rate of around 2% and job creation continues to lag, the solar industry is growing by more than 50% per year and is expected to create 24,000 new jobs in 2011. A 2010 survey showed that more than 80% of property owners are interested in and plan to install solar energy systems on their property within the next five years. Legislative action by the State of Missouri and incentive programs sponsored by electric utility companies are also having a dramatic effect on the growth of the state’s solar market.
